I uninstalled Calibre and did a fresh install, but still the same issue: it doesn't recognize that a device is attached, but when I hit the disconnect button on the Scribe it gives the same error I quoted in the original post.
Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated!

How much time are you giving calibre to connect? In my case it takes about 25-30 seconds. I think this is significantly longer than with previous versions. (On my M1 MacBook, it takes maybe 3-5 seconds longer)
Note that with thumbnail support added, calibre is doing its 'housekeeping' to restore thumbnails from the /amazon-cover-bug folder, maybe that is why. (I wish there were a way to turn that off, I'm pretty sure it is not necessary.)
The fact that calibre complains when you Disconnect indicates calibre is in process of connecting.
Also it might well take longer to get to 'ready' if you have more side-loaded books, or more books in general on the device. Calibre has to look everything up to see what is what.
I only have a couple of side-loaded books and a handful of downloaded ones.
There's a way to run calibre in debug mode from Terminal and it will spew output to stdout and stderr, including what it is doing with MTP:
